If we’re talking about atom-by-atom reconstruction, then the question is about philosophical zombies.
I don’t put much stock in any philosophies that say youthe constructed being definitely would be a zombie. But I do believe in the possibility that youthe constructed beingcould be a zombie.
The heart never stops beating. It’s created somewhere in its natural cycle and just continues doing what its molecular and electrical state dictate it does.
I think that it is covered by “atom-by-atom”. I suppose all matter that enters the machine is moved (or even if copied).
Heart will just kickstart, because it runs on electrochemistry, if the ionic energy is there from all required “atoms”. But that raises the question: does the energy state of that matter get transfered?

Skydive naked from an aeroplane, or perhaps a lady with a body from outer space
Maybe just a custom built bike doing 103

Must be, otherwise part of your brainstate wasn’t transferred.
